The last modified timestamp had 2099 as year value (the maximum that I can set on Windows), because of some tests with dates which I made at the time. However, they are correct timestamps for Windows files, so I think that at least the API on posixmodule.c should not fail when working with them. I don't know if there's a way to handle them correctly. Also may be that test_os.py need to be changed in some way, because the pagefile can be put in any partition, and there are Windows installations which lack it, because the virtual memory can be disabled too.
